In any case, your spine should always stay in a straight position. Back and lumbar support from your chair will stop you from slouching throughout the day. Still, finding the perfect spot for your monitor is key to good ergonomics. That spot can change for every person, so you’ll have to experiment with placement but you can use these tips to guide you.

The top of the screen should be at or slightly below eye level. That way, you keep your shoulders level and you won’t hunch your back. Your eyes should look slightly down when looking at the middle of the screen to help keep your neck in proper alignment.
Place the monitor at least 20 inches (about an arm’s length) from your eyes and farther away if it’s a large one.
Tilt it back 10 to 20 degrees (or 30 and 45 degrees if you wear bifocals) to make sure you’re looking down at the screen at an angle.
Brightness shouldn’t be too dim or too bright. A good rule of thumb is for the monitor’s lighting intensity to be just a little brighter than your ambient lighting. The latter should be sufficient enough to read paper documents without needing additional light.
